...The Quran clearly states that Jihad can only be fought if the a Muslim has his or her rights taken away from them, and it can only be fought as a last resort. In Jihad you cannot kill; Civillian women, Children, the elderly and anyone who does not pose a threat.
I would also like to add that if the west did run according to the shariah (Islamic law) every one would be equal and poverty would be history, as it is the duty of a Muslim to give charity and not be matierialistic like most of the west.
